Mayo, lard, cheese, butter, and cream in a garden?
Someone’s brain has gone bye-bye …
Reminds me of the woman who wrote a letter to the editor stating something like this: “Why do people have to kill animals to get meat? Why don’t they just go get it at the grocery store like the rest of us?”
Since the dawn of humanity (until quite recently, relatively speaking), food was a scarce commodity, requiring almost as much energy to hunt and gather than it provided. Thus, humans naturally evolved to store as much fat as possible, which causes the modern problems we now have in more plentiful times.
I love okra, too. If you can’t grow your own, best bet is to find some “loose” okra in a store and pick out the young, tender pods. I ate a batch of it in the past two days. One pod fooled me, and was woody, with brown outer ridges. Inside, it was a bunch of tough fibers and bb seeds. I had to throw it out. Okra and tomatoes (with bacon or good ham) is great, too.
I recall that few years ago some comedian made a joke to the effect that “fat farms” were where the rich went to get themselves liposuctioned and the doctors were making a fortune at it because “after all, where do you think the Fast Food places get the oil to make their fries?”

Lard, butter and cream? no way, they’re natural so they have no place in a fast food joint.

All “watered” with High Fructose Corn Syrup.(Mmmm! Nuthin’ like a big glass of Karo first thing in the morning!)

I see super size and no meat…..they must have taken over Old McDonald’s farm when Ronald retired.

Come on, Wiley! No bacon? Oh, that’s right. Bacon is a health food by comparison………Never mind….

I vaguely remember when I was a kid that rich people went away to fat farms to lose weight; now I understand: I was wrong.

The important thing is that this real estate is prevented from being used to grow kale, whatever that is.

Kale is great. Next thing the fools among us will be complaining about broccoli!!
thirdguy over 10 years ago
Broccoli is great! If you add enough butter to it.

I recently switched to diet tonic water for my gin and tonic. That’s my concession to watching my weight as I age….

You’re not complaining, you’re bragging.

Fast food what? Or just fantasy famine again. Wish and they are watering down.

sorry to hear you have a medical condition but that does sound like the dream diet for most of us!

Love the big, fat “super size” furrow.

“Cream is just separated…”What the heck? I wish I was so lucky! I gain 5 pounds just opening the ice cream package!

No meat, no chicken, no fish, no chipotle, no ranch dressing, no thousand island dressing, no tomatoes….

They would not be able to find people to do the farming because then they would have to work
